Week Three

[stagemanagers]

[Last week, some shit went down! Salieri's scene went off without a hitch, but the good mood didn't last. The first motive was a bit of a doozy, and yet it didn't even have anything to do with the eventual accidental death of Mumble Happyfeet! At least Sissi was already pretty much dating Death anyway, right? She's probably fine, wherever she is.

This week, new menus have been posted in the cafeteria. But, more importantly, it seems that other new information has emerged. Everyone wakes on Sunday with some new memories - or are they old ones? - floating around in their heads. Maybe there was something to your discussions of time travel after all. Maybe there was someting to the Wizard's knowledge of the future.

Regardless, you're still stuck in here. At least there's some new places to explore this week. Maybe you'll find something helpful.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( Be sure to submit your memory regains and your AC for this week! Hester's office hours and the merch booth also remain available! ))

So like. Magic School Bus? That makes sense. Bill Nye? For sure. Teach them kids, let them grow. But I have watched Remember The Titans in multiple classes and it was relevant to absolutely none of them.

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine leans over and oh, there indeed is Remember the Titans. ]

...They got War Games here? My middle school was weirdly obsessed with War Games.

[fourbutts]

They might? If they do, I feel like the Squip should see it. Kind of hard to find in this pile of adaptations, though- oh shit, Jumanji.

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine winces at the thought of the Squip seeing War Games, because maybe that's a little too bad of an idea? But then— ]

Okay, that's a solid one, I don't even care if it makes no sense.

[fourbutts]

I can think of way worse ways to shut a bunch of kids up for a couple hours than Jumanji.

[ hey sidebar jumanji musical fucking WHEN ]

Right next to Tarzan, naturally, for uh. The famous jungle unit of geography.

[comeandfindme]

[ JUMANJI MUSICAL FUCKING WHEN???? ]

...You're right, all these movies are weird. They don't really teach anything, just keep kids quiet. [ It's Tarzan that gets her to realize this? Really?? ]

[fourbutts]

[ Hang on, she caught that- ]

Like... you're the survival expert, is anything right in Jumanji? Not that you guys have jungle specifically in Minnesota, but.

[comeandfindme]

We don't have the jungle, but we still have wild animals. Like— like there's wolves, and, you know...bears.

[ ...Heh. Peregrine actually smirks a little. ]

[fourbutts]

[ She catches that. ]

Did you fucking remember fighting a bear. Please say yes.

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine corrects: ]

I didn't fight a bear, okay, we just scared it.

[fourbutts]

Oh, sorry, you just intimidated a bear so hard it didn't want to fuck with you. My bad.

[comeandfindme]

It wasn't just me. John Francis, Eric, and Woodsley helped too. [ oh but she's so smug though?? ] But, I was the one who coordinated it. D'you know the best way to make a wild animal back down is to intimidate it? You gotta make yourself look bigger than you are.

[fourbutts]

Oh hey, I think I learned that on a hike once, in like. Wisconsin. If a mountain lion comes at you, you use your jacket to go uh.

[ Mimes the thing where you make yourself look big with a jacket, using her jacket. ]

[comeandfindme]

Not bad, Janis!! [ Hey, Peregrine looks impressed! ] Yeah, that. 'Cept I used a blanket. Eric and Woodsley, they kept it distracted with some pots and pans, and John Francis got the— someone's dog kept tryin' to fight it, so he was trying to get it to stand down. And me, I gave it a "predator" to be scared of.

[ Oh, she looks so proud of herself. ]

[fourbutts]

You know, I would also run away from that. Very intimidating, well done.

[comeandfindme]

Oh, I ain't even got to the fire extinguisher.

[fourbutts]

Say more right now.

[comeandfindme]

[ She snorts out a laugh. ]

We got it spooked by the blanket, right? So, it's attention's on me, and Eric, who's grabbed a corner, we spread out to seem even bigger. With Woodsley bangin' on the pans, it can't keep its attention straight. We go towards the fryer, where it's trying to get the— okay, remind me to tell ya about the Turkey Drop later— and it goes right for us, like, it charges. And we go over toward the trees, and the blanket's like, almost forgotten. But that's not gonna make it leave, right? So, I yell to Eric, I say— GIT THAT EXTINGUISHER RIGHT NOW— and he sprays it?

[ And Peregrine leans in. ]

Right. At. It's. Face.

[fourbutts]

[ Janis hangs on every single word. She is majorly crushing on Maya, this is established, but this gives that crush a run for its money. ]

Damn. You guys are hardcore in Minnesota.

[comeandfindme]

Yeah. Yeah, we're pretty dang awesome.

[ She's preening like a peacock. ]
